About Ghost Sector
Step into the research complex on planet RX-712, once maximum security prison has now transformed into an advanced research station when a discovery of valuable minerals is unearthed. As the forefront of cybernetic robotic technology, the M-Tech Corporation converted the derelict prison into a massive robotic research facility. Now a hotbed of experimental nanotechnology and human robot replica research pushed beyond ethical limits.
You awaken as M-07 a machine prototype with an unexplained anomaly at its core after a disastrous event awakens you. The entire complex is in lockdown and the automated defense systems have been activated. Search the facility, defeat the defense systems in place, recover your memories, and unravel the origin of your creation and the M-Tech Corporation.
It's cold and sterile. Power is running low. Everything is a blur of fragmented commands and half-remembered routines. Something went wrong, the facility is on lock down. Break from confinement and search the complex for answers. The truth lingers just out of reach but something compels you to move forward and find out who, and what you are.
- Classic Controls: Navigate using fixed-camera angles and tank-style controls, evoking the feel of retro survival horror classics.
- Resource Management: Begin defenseless with a limited power source. Scavenge for modules that upgrade your abilities—from a stronger power core and cybernetic shield to eventually arming you for combat.
- Strategic Encounters: Use your wits to solve intricate environmental puzzles while avoiding or outsmarting hostile defenses and lurking enemies. Every upgrade is a double-edged sword, enhancing your capabilities while depleting your finite energy reserves.
- Inspirational Homage: Drawing artistic inspiration from the haunting ambiance of classic survival horror games, the melancholic isolation of Amiga classics and the eerie aesthetics of the science fiction horror. Every pixel and shadow is crafted to immerse you in an unsettling blend of futuristic decay and retro horror.
